At the center of the desolate forest, outside a tent, there were three beautiful figures guarding it.
These three beautiful figures had been guarding here for half a month.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound came from inside the tent.
Immediately, the four corners of the tent were swept up by a strong wind, and a brilliant golden spiritual light with a slight baleful aura directly rushed into the sky.
"What happened?"
Yu Luocha, Xiao Mi Cai, and She Xi 'er's expressions changed. Then, while the three of them were still in shock, a black-robed figure brushed past them, causing their expressions to freeze.
"Shi Tou!
Father! "
Looking at the figure, Yu Luocha was the first to regain her senses. Almost without hesitation, she pounced into the arms of the figure.
Feeling the warmth in his arms, Qin Shi was startled, and immediately revealed a gentle smile, "What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and you're in such a hurry to throw yourself into my arms?"
Hearing Qin Shi's teasing, Yu Luocha blushed and pushed Qin Shi away. She examined his body, and after seeing that he was really fine, she was pleasantly surprised, "Did a miracle really happen?
Are you alright? "
"Sigh, originally, I was already in heaven, but the heavens said that there was a great beauty waiting for me outside. She refused to take me in no matter what, and insisted on sending me back to accompany you."
Qin Shi caressed Yu Luocha's waterfall-like long hair, and smiled, "That's why I said, it's all your fault that I can't go to heaven. In the future, accompany this young master in this mortal world."
"Loquacious!"
Yu Luocha lowered her head coquettishly, but her heart was bursting with joy, as if she had eaten candied fruit.
At this moment, Xiao Mi Cai and She Xi 'er also ran over.
Looking at the people waiting for him outside, Qin Shi's mood was not depressed because of the injection of the demon blood, but was instead filled with joy and calmness.
For the first time, he felt that it was really good to be alive.
Yu Luocha raised her head and asked with a blushing face, "What exactly happened under the Heaven Lake?"
"Nothing, it's all in the past."
Regarding the matter under the Heaven Lake, Qin Shi did not want them to worry.
But he knew that this Heavenly Pond was definitely not simple, especially that last pillar of fire. Just the remnant power had almost killed him.
"Hmph, I don't care who you are. Since you dared to cause me to become neither human nor ghost, sooner or later, I will make you pay with your blood." When he thought of the pillar of fire, Qin Shi became furious.
Since Qin Shi didn't mention it, the three of them were well-behaved and didn't ask any more questions.
In the silence, Qin Shi suddenly thought of something. He took a step towards She Xi 'er and took out a radiant stamen from his spatial ring. "Xi' er, this is for you."
"Holy Spirit Flower?"
Both She Xi 'er and Yu Luocha were astonished to see the Holy Spirit Flower.
She Xi 'er blinked her big eyes in confusion. "Brother Stone, you don't remember?
The Holy Spirit Flower can only undergo two baptisms. I can't take your Holy Spirit Flower. "
"Silly, this isn't mine. Someone asked me to give it to you." Qin Shi laughed bitterly. He grabbed She Xi 'er's hand and gave her the Holy Spirit Flower.
He told Xi 'er about what Long Yun had told him. As for how she treated the Holy Spirit Flower in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
After receiving the Holy Spirit Flower, as Qin Shi expected, She Xi 'er's beautiful eyes immediately moved towards Yu Luocha. "Aunt …"
"I can't take this Holy Spirit Flower."
Unexpectedly, Yu Luocha interrupted her decisively. "The Holy Spirit Flower is the Fiend Race's sacred item. You are the Fiend Race's leader now. Without the Holy Spirit Flower, it will be difficult to convince the masses."
"I don't care!"
"I care!"
Yu Luocha interrupted her. "You are his daughter. You must take care of the Fiend Race. I believe that Aunt will be fine. Your Brother Stone will accompany me."
She Xi 'er was startled when she heard this.
Qin Shi curled his lips. However, just as he was about to speak, Yu Luocha glared at him with her cold beautiful eyes, causing him to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Forget it. Let's leave this place and quickly take her back to the northern region. As long as we reach the Unrequited Love Valley, there will be a way to cure this Unrequited Yin-Yang Talisman."
Thinking helplessly, Qin Shi stood up and said, "Xi 'er, you keep this Holy Spirit Flower. Leave your aunt to me. I won't let anything happen to her."
Looking at the two of them, She Xi 'er's cherry lips parted slightly. In the end, she could only say helplessly, "Alright then. But Aunt, before you cure the poison, I won't use this Holy Spirit Flower. I'll keep it for you until you cure it."
Yu Luocha frowned. She knew that it was useless for her to say anything more. She Xi 'er definitely wouldn't listen to her. She could only nod and agree.
Now that Qin Shi had recovered and the Spirit Gathering Flower was in her hands, it was time to leave after being delayed in the Desolate Forest for so long.
"Xi 'er, do you know where the secret passage to leave is?" Qin Shi hesitated for a moment before waving his hand at She Xi' er.
Hearing this, She Xi 'er was startled. "Brother Stone is leaving?"
"Yes, it's time to leave." As Qin Shi spoke, he saw a clear sense of loss flash through She Xi 'er's young eyes.
But there was no other way. People had their share of joys and sorrows. It was inevitable.
"Alright, don't pout. Didn't I tell your Sister Yu that I'll come back to see you when I'm free?" Qin Shi rubbed She Xi 'er's nose and said with a smile.
She was reluctant to part with him, but She Xi 'er could only nod. "Yes, then I'll tell the elders and let them arrange a banquet tonight. After eating …"
"Don't trouble yourself."
Qin Shi hurriedly waved his hand. He didn't want to be in a hurry. Furthermore, his current physique was special. Before he could control this body, he didn't want to meet too many people.
Otherwise, if there were too many people, accidents would inevitably occur.
She Xi 'er originally wanted to persist, but seeing Qin Shi's resolute gaze, she suddenly lost her confidence. In the end, she could only listen to Qin Shi's arrangements and lead the way to the back of the mountain.
In the back of the mountain, there was a strange tunnel.
The tunnel went several hundred meters underground. It was so dark that one couldn't even see their fingers in front of them.
She Xi 'er led everyone to the side of the secret tunnel and looked at the cave entrance. "Auntie, Brother Stone, it's here."
His mental power probed the secret tunnel along the way. Ever since the training under the Heavenly Lake, his mental power could already cover a radius of ten thousand meters.
Following the secret tunnel, he frowned and immediately revealed a slight smile. "Haha, can we finally get out?"
"Brother Stone, take this."
She Xi 'er pursed her lips. With a wave of her hand, a dark blue snake scale appeared in her palm. "This is my Seven Inch Snake Scale. If we encounter any trouble or my auntie's poison flares up, pour your spiritual power into it. I'll be able to sense it immediately."
Looking at the dark blue snake scale, Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a moment. Soon after, he didn't refuse and put it in his palm. Then, with a wave of his hand, he picked up a stone from the side and poured his mental power into it.
Under the influence of his mental power, the stone immediately became smooth and glowed with a faint purple light.
After everything was done, Qin Shi handed the stone to She Xi 'er. "Then this is for you. It has my mental power in it. If the Fiend race is in trouble or misses your auntie, you can use it to communicate with me."
"Really?"
She Xi 'er's eyes lit up and she took the stone.
But during this short process, Yu Luocha looked at Qin Shi in shock. Her beautiful eyes glowed red.
Mental power communication?
She knew that was an ability that only a five-trace talisman master could have.
It seemed that not only did he encounter trouble in the Heaven Lake, but he also encountered many opportunities.
After the two sides finished, Qin Shi's group of three finally bid farewell to She Xi 'er and walked out along the pitch-black secret passage.
She Xi 'er stood beside the secret passage and watched the three figures disappear into the darkness. With a face full of reluctance and sadness, she shouted with all her might, "Auntie, Big Sister Mi Cai, Big Brother Stone, you have to come back to see me often!"
In the darkness, listening to the shouts behind him, Qin Shi had a helpless urge to laugh. What kind of seniority was this?
She Xi 'er called Yu Luocha' auntie 'and called him Big Brother Stone.
Mi Cai called him daddy and Yu Luocha 'Big Sister Luocha'.
Was this a seniority difference?
But Qin Shi felt a sense of schadenfreude. He said happily in his heart, "Hehe, in this way, I'm not at a disadvantage."
Seeing Qin Shi's evil smile, Yu Luocha knew that he was up to no good.
Waving to the back, the three of them walked along the secret passage towards the outside world.
During this process, the three of them were excited.
Calculating it, Qin Shi had unknowingly stayed in this forest for a few months and left the northern region for almost half a year. Now, he could not wait to fly back to the northern region.
Mi Cai stayed even longer. Ever since she parted with Qin Shi in the Blazing Sky Secret Domain, she had been here.
Needless to say, Yu Luocha had been sealed for a full 30 years.
Along the way, Mi Cai was bouncing with anticipation and yearning, "Daddy, Big Sister Luocha, where are we going?"
With regards to this question, Qin Shi thought for a while and said to Yu Luocha, "After we leave, follow me back to the northern region. I have a way to cure your poison."
"Northern region?"
Yu Luocha was stunned. She immediately lowered her head and said, "I want to go to the Mystical Hall to see Big Sister Hua Ling."
"But your poison …"
"Within a year, it should be fine. Can you accompany me first?" Yu Luocha interrupted Qin Shi and said.
Qin Shi was stunned. He wanted to reject her, but when he saw Yu Luocha's determined and expectant face, he became silent.
Finally, he nodded his head helplessly, "If the poison acts up, you must tell me. Don't force yourself, understand?"
Seeing that Qin Shi agreed, Yu Luocha's face bloomed like an ice lotus. She nodded her head vigorously like a child, "Mm!"
While the two of them were stirring up their emotions, Mi Cai suddenly cut in between them. After looking left and right, she suddenly said, "Big Sister Luocha, you and Daddy are so close. Will you be my mother in the future?
But if you want to be my mother, you can't be my big sister. But I still want you to be my mother. What should I do? "
"…"
This messy logic defeated the two of them in an instant.
Yu Luocha's face blushed and she scolded, "Little Mi Cai, don't talk nonsense."
"Haha, what's wrong? A child's words carry no harm," Qin Shi laughed heartily and walked away with his head held high.
Soon, the three of them reached the end of the secret passage.
A ray of fiery sun shone on their faces. The moment Qin Shi stepped out of the secret passage, he couldn't help but raise his head and take a deep breath. He let out a long sigh, "Phew, we're finally out."
"Mm?"
However, when he walked out of the secret passage, Qin Shi suddenly frowned. A dense and pungent smell of blood assaulted his nostrils. When he turned around, he saw a panicked village nearby, and corpses were strewn all over the place.
There were a few people that Qin Shi was familiar with.
